Q about wedding gifts

I know this has been asked before, but I wanted to get thoughts: we just recieved our first wedding gift in the mail(!). FI and I want to wait and bring it to our shower, which is in a few weeks, but I'm wondering if we should open it sooner so that we can get a thank you card out in a timely manner. We don't know who it's from, since it was shipped from the store.

What's the right ettiquette in this situation?

    Open it and send a TY note ASAP.  The person who sent it will be happy to know that you received the gift.  Also, you'll be happy that you got those early TY notes out of the way because after your shower you'll have a ton to write.

    we got a gift shipped right from the store with no name, so i called the store and asked who sent it.  then i sent a thank you.

    Open it and send the thank you note before the shower. Believe me, you will be happy that you sent it already.

    Open it now and send a thank you.  The giver will be wondering if you received it.

    Agreed.  Open it before.  I have received a lot of shower gifts already and I've opened them all.  If you don't know who it's from, they may not even be going to the shower.  They sent it before for a reason and would be relieved to know that it arrived safely.

    Thanks, for your help. After thinking about it, I have a pretty good feeling about who it's from, and if that's the case, this person can't make it to the wedding (or shower) so I think we'll open it tonight!
